Today, KC Johnson posted: “Consistencies.”
His post contains this paragraph:
To my knowledge, the only journalist to issue an out-and-out apology for his or her early handling of [the Duke lacrosse] case was Susan Ihne of the Asheville Citizen-Times. David Brooks and Ruth Sheehan did so implicitly, by looking beyond their early judgments and seeking the truth. (If there are others, please let me know.) The New York Times? Nothing. The Herald-Sun? Nothing.If you’ve followed the case, you know KC’s right about the New York Times and The Durham Herald-Sun.
But I’ll bet you're also asking yourselves:“Why didn’t KC mention The Raleigh News & Observer? Could we have had the witch hunt without the N&O?”
So am I.
I hope KC tells us.

John: You are more knowledgeable than KC about the late March-early April journalistic travesty perpetrated by the News & Observer. Please post some of your earlier pieces about the N&O or do a new, updated piece that can be brought to Professor Johnson's attention. Is it surprising to you that no lawsuit has been filed against the newspaper in light of the Khanna "interview" and publication of the so-called vigilante poster?
He mentioned Ruth Sheehan who writes for the N&O.
